Getting to Morocco cheap
 
Hi, what's the cheapest way to arrange a flight to Morocco? Should I try to book a flight with one airline, and leave it to them to handle the European legs, or should I book a flight with one airline to a major city in Europe like London or Paris, then book via a European airline like Easyjet to Morocco? FWIW, I'll be flying out of Texas.

Thanks!

Also, should I fly to Marrakech or Casablanca?

And is the first week or second week of December better as far as events in Morocco?

Thanks

It is much cheaper (though more hassle) to book a flight from Texas to London and then switch to Easyjet. This will require at least one night in London (which diminishes the cost effectiveness of this option) because the EJ flight leaves at 6am from Luton (quite a ways out of London).

Sorry, its Ryanair that flies to Fez from Luton - not Easyjet!

I didn't want too long of a layover so I booked through Orbitz the entire route.

BTW, from your ID, Jenn, do you live in Morocco?

Yes, I do - and have done for about 5 years now.

The layover in London is a bit daunting, so probably best to go the Orbitz route.
